Brief
To devise an upcoming film magazine that showcases and celebrates the best of film, regardless of budget, release date or genre staying true to film.
Brand & concept

The Reel logo uses an ee monogram to form an abstract reel but in turn creates an alternate spelling - Real. This concept is used throughout the magazine and reinforces how I intend to stay true to film Reel/Real film reviews etc.

Content
The content of the magazine is vastly diverse, from documentaries filmed on a small budget to high profile, Hollywood blockbusters. People can tweet their own reviews for the In-depth film reviews section. The magazine also features sections on the comedy genre, poster designs and an in-depth look into the Die Hard franchise.
Layout
Using a classic and simple layout, the content is layed out in a systematic format. The reviews are signified by red whereas the features are showcased in gold. Film stills are used as opposed to poster designs to give the reader more of an insight into the film these are mainly full bleed to create as much of an impact as possible.

So the plot of the last movie is slightly more nerdy than the others. This time, the terrorists are hackers and theyre developing a system of the United States, one bit at a time. McClane (Willis) gets involved after he is sent to bring internet hacker Matt Farrell (Justin Long) to Washington. Soon after he arrives at Matts apartment though, unknown assailents begin shooting at Matt and McClane. After getting him out safely, McClane turns to Matt to gain some insight from his hacking knowledge and together they plan to bring down mastermind Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) and his assistant Mai Linh (Maggie

Q). Unfortunately for McClane (and in some ways, fortunate for Farrell), Lucy Gennaro McClane (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Johns and despite her disliking of her father and his attitudes to things, she relies and trusts in him to stop the terrorists. In the twelve years that John was absent from our cinema screens, a lot changed in his life. He lost all his hair, stopped talking to his ex wife and daughters, became a much angrier and older man. Willis continues to develop and adapt the character weve grown to love but still sticks to his roots. The years have aged him, and he shows us that.
Also a brilliant performance from Justin Long. Admittedly its a role that he plays more than any other, the awkward nerdy teenager. But the contrast between Willis and Long is so perfect it makes the movie great fun to watch. Die Hard science goes to a whole new level in this movie. Death seems to become a thing of the past, or at least all of the characters have developed super strength. Cars are driven into helicopters, people are run over but able to continue fighting and fighter jets will destroy half a city on a very vague order. However, being a more modern movie, the special effects, camera work, and general
appearance of the entire film is a league above the other three movies. Probably the most silly out of all four movies but also one of the easiest to watch. Theres lots of action and lots of explosions to keep your eyes busy.

Witty, action packed and plain cool. With a 5th instalment planned for 2013, we look back at the franchise so far.
The master of conjuring up public discussion and debate, Banksy doesnt disappoint.
Exit Through the Gift Shop is an account of the life of Thierry Guetta, a French filmmaker who becomes entranced by the world of street art. His obsession leads him to working with some of the big names in the industry such as Invader and Shepard Fairey, following them around at night when they are creating their work, documenting every moment on film. Rapidly his tape collection grows, as does his desire to meet the top name in the business, Banksy. Finally his dream comes true as by chance he is hooked up with him and continues to work with the anonymous artist. Guetta later becomes involved in the business himself under the name of Mr Brainwash and much to the others annoyance becomes highly successful selling his work for thousands. It is filmed in a documentary style Despite the masked face and altered voice, after years of being completely personalityless, Banksy is finally shown as an individual, real person, with his sense of humour being not only displayed through his voiceovers but also through the plot and direction of the film itself. Brilliant publicity for not only Banksy himself, with him coming across a likeable character, who is easily warmed to with his humble attitude about the work he produces, Banksy, giving their recollection of the events that took place. Not only is Exit Through the Gift Shop filled with hilarious one-liners from Banksy but it also introduces the audience to the culture of street art and the skill involved, although this is questioned throughout by the analogy of Mr Brainwash.

Its 1927 in Hollywoodland. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a star actor of the silent movies. The camera loves him and the ladies love him. Along with his dog, Jack, he makes hit films and is always greeted by the press and a swarm of screaming ladies. One woman ends up being pushed past a policeman and into George Valentin just outside the theatre. He laughs it off and poses for the camera with his fan. The next day, the papers are covered with the question Who is this girl? That girl is Peppy Miller (Brnice Bejo), aspiring actress. She auditions as a dancer soon after her encounter with Valentin and ends up on set with the man himself. A spark develops between the two but they end up going separate ways. Then the talkies are introduced. Peppy Miller works her way up the silent trail and into talking movies. Valentin, however, claims that its a gimmick and fights to preserve his silent films. But what do the audience want?
The acting in this movie is some of the best Ive seen for a long time. Both main characters were up for Oscar nominations and both were very worthy. While it could be argued that Brnice Bejo deserves a Best Actress nomination rather than a Best Supporting Actress nomination, she has a far higher chance of winning in that category and she truly deserves high recognition.

corridor. Its incredible to watch. The use of sound in the film is also brilliant. Often music (or more often silence) will juxtapose whats happening on screen. It creates a really eerie atmosphere that works wonderfully with the explicit nature of the film. Overall, this film is definitely not for the faint are completely outweighed. Theres even a tooth-pulling scene, something that really makes me wince. However, it is a great movie and well worth a watch... if you can stand it. And pay attention. It twists more than
The Avengers
An abundance of superheroes and one liners. Lacking in plot.
Snow White & The Huntsman

Entertaining cross between Willow & LOTR. Sadly none of the actors did a better than adequate job.
just be shocked by him. Its brilliant. As an antagonist, Ji-tae Yu is fantastic as Woo-jin Lee. He has a perfect balance between psychotic and plain evil. Hes got enough of a human side to develop a tiny bit of sympathy for him but mainly hes crazy and cruel. What really stood out for me in this movie was the knows what hes doing as a director. Everything is perfectly timed. Everything looks perfect. Everything is perfect as far as the technical aspects are concerned. The fight spectacularly shot. The corridor fight scene
technical side of things. Chan-wook Park really hearted. While it has funny moments, they
scenes, particularly the long corridor fight, are a roller coaster.

Really long title. Average movie.
involves a huge number of guards against one man. The first camera shot shows us how small the corridor actually is. The next one
a an extremely long single shot that follows is
But Jean Dujardin really steals the show. Without any form of vocal expression, he shows every emotion and thought going through Valentins mind. his use of facial expression borders perfectly on exaggerated and realistic; it makes everything stand out more without seeming odd. He definitely has a very realistic chance of winning the Oscar. I cant remember the last time I was so absorbed by a performance. Certainly one of the most likeable characters in recent cinema with a brilliant character progression.
